Project: Multiple Hydrocracking Catalyst Testing Unit

Technical Specifications

The pilot plant is a completely automated continuous Hydro processing facility with 6 parallel reactor trains with independent feed & product arrangements and a common continuous Distillation with vacuum and atmospheric distillation columns connected in series. Reactor trains are installed in two identical sets (3 trains on one skid) for the ease of installation and operation. Each reactor of each train is equipped with independent facilities for gas and liquid feeding, gas/ liquid product separation, gas product metering and liquid product collection. Further, arrangement is also made to connect all the reactor trains in series. Plant includes automatic high pressure inter reactor sampling arrangements.

A central control system is built around Honeywell PC-PLC control system. Reactor pressure, gas flow, liquid flow, levels in HP and LP separators, weighment of feed and product tanks, product gas flow are monitored-controlled and recorded. Alarms and interlock were configured to protect unwanted scenarios.
